Dinosaurs Lunch

T ate this dinosaur-themed meal for lunch today.

• dinosaur-shaped sandwiches on pretzel sticks (logs)
• carrots (vegetation) with dip
• "D" (for Dinosaur) Scrabble Junior Cheez-It Cracker
• pretzel balls in a dinosaur cupcake liner with pick
  (It looks like a bumpy-backed dinosaur, right?)
• a few additional pretzel balls (rocks)
• peach yogurt with dinosaur sprinkles

Aren't the dinosaur sprinkles cute?  :)

Yabba Dabba Doo!

Growing up, I loved to watch Saturday morning cartoons.  One of my favorite cartoons was The Flintstones.  I still can remember most of the words to the theme song:

               Flintstones...Meet the Flintstones;
               They're a modern stone age family.
               From the town of Bedrock,
               They're a page right out of history.
               Let's ride with the family down the street,
               Through the courtesy of Fred's two feet.
               When you're with the Flintstones,
               Have a yabba dabba doo time,
               A dabba doo time.
               We'll have a gay old time.

Were you singing??!  :D

Even though T doesn't watch this cartoon from years gone by, I thought he would enjoy a muffin tin meal based on it.

• pebbles > pretzel balls
• big bones > Scooby-Doo! Graham Cracker Sticks
• little bones > applesauce with bone sprinkles
• Dino's food > Beef Burgundy
• Dino > toast circle body with cheese triangle spikes and dinosaur head pick and cupcake liner (from Wilton cupcake decorating kit)
• boulders > whole new potatoes
• big dinosaur > milk in straw cup

• dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets
• mashed potatoes
• broccoli
• tossed salad

Dinosaur Letterbox

My Dad, T, and I searched for dinosaurs this afternoon.

We discovered Headless Taylorsaurus.

In the photos below, T is stamping in his log book.

My Dad was not altogether familiar with letterboxing.  He found it interesting...and of course, T had a wonderful time being with his Grandpa and being outside!  :)

Dinosaurs

Pictured below are dinosaurs in their environment.  This was T's supper tonight.

• dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets with spinach
• milk in dinosaur cup
• green grapes
• tossed salad and celery sticks with Ranch dressing
• key lime pie yogurt
• broccoli with cheese sauce
• baby lima beans

T said, "Cool!"
